ISKCON Global Timeline Project

Srila Prabhupada, “I want that our Mayapur festival there should be booths showing our activities. There should be one booth showing all the photographs of our temple buildings. This will be very impressive. Even big, big businessmen, they haven’t got such branches all over the world as we have got. And our business is with honor.”
(751120 – Letter to Satsvarupa written from Bombay)

In the spirit of this instruction, ISKCON Mayapur is currently developing an online interactive project to visualize the phenomenal growth of ISKCON from its inception in 1966 through 2026. The project aims to present a global timeline of the establishment of ISKCON centres worldwide.  To help us make this historical record as complete and authentic as possible, we humbly request the following information regarding your temple/centre:

City Name:
Inauguration Date: (MM/DD/YYYY)
Presiding Deities: (Name & Photo)
Google Maps Link:
Official Website:
Reference Link: (Website/article authenticating the date)

Our current timeline already highlights the 109 Centres opened during Srila Prabhupada’s physical presence (until November 1977), including some locations of Deity installations, cornerstone ceremonies, and 330 places visited by His Divine Grace. We have also included some ISKCON centres from publicly available online resources.

Centres opened (1966 – 1977)

I expect that all of you will combine together to open at least 108 centers before I leave this world.
(670827 – Letter to Brahmananda written from Vrndavana)

Gargamuni has arrived here safely yesterday, and already he and Tamala Krishna are making plans to open 108 centers within a three year period. So I very much appreciate how my disciples are taking this movement to their heart of hearts, and are working very sincerely to propagate it.
(690716 – Letter to Brahmananda written from Los Angeles)

Here Tamala Krishna and Gargamuni have promised me to start a center every quarterly, and it is my ambition that I want to establish at least 108 centers; beginning from Hamburg, crossing over the Atlantic to your country, USA, then the Pacific, covering Hawaii and reaching to Tokyo, Japan. It is about 13,000 miles long, and do you think that 108 centers within 13,000 miles is a very difficult proposition? I don’t think so.
(690728 – Letter to Mukunda written from Los Angeles)

Each pair should take care of a center; and if you love me at all, then all of you try your best to open at least 108 centers during my lifetime—that is my special request. At the same time, we must be very careful to see that every center is going properly.
(700527 – Letter to Tamala Krishna written from Los Angeles)

Now I want that there should be established 108 temples before my death, so you think how to do it. Make some program, train up devotees.
